First time driving Hellcat since new brakes/rotors as we have had rain.

I want to say the car feels smoother? Not sure if in my head?

Tomorrow is new PS4s and alignment.

I think he is the original owner.

And buying a multi-door, also slightly warped.

Maybe so...spoke with tech and he didn't say anything about it nor did I ask. Original brakes...yes.

Those that purchased their Hellcat new...did you all bedd in your brembo brakes and rotors...I didn't.

Meh. I don't really use my brakes, so no need to make them as effective as possible.

As I've discussed...I have had a slight vibration in the steering wheel at around 80 mph and sometimes it is intermittent based on road conditions.

Wonder if related to rotors somehow. After new PS4s and alignment I will go test.

I wonder...

I would think it’s more likely related to tire balancing.
